[TowerTalk] Attaching junction box to tower?

[w8ji.tom]

Hi Barry,

If you are going to attach it to a tower, think again. If it is anywhere
near the tower the antenna will pick up a lot of re-radiated signal from
the tower, feedlines, etc.

Attach the box to a small wood or metal pole, and keep that pole at least
100 feet and preferably more away from your tower or any other antennas.
